Hey @sevenseasentertainment.com. There doesn't seem to be a translator credit for Roll Over and Die light novel 5. Is it still Jason Muell? Or someone else?

the median voter, five minutes after angrily pressing the Throw The Bums Out button: "wait a minute, I hate Donald Trump"
this is what @gelliottmorris.com has been arguing... there was no realignment in 2024, just an anti incumbent wave across all demographics, which has now reversed.

the most important takeaway, I think - a significant chunk of Trump voters, especially concentrated among hispanics, have actively changed their vote from 2024 back to D

I'm begging any artists still using Twitter claiming it's integral to their work to just leave. It's been revealed the site works off a made up "credit score" from hell and punishes you for posting like a normal human being.
